Lorraine Pascale’s Fast, Fresh and Easy Food

The title says it all. The recipes are fast, you don't need to spend hours cooking in the kitchen to get delicious food. Easy, yes even my husband has tried some of the recipes and he hates cooking. And let's not forget fresh, there are no *almost homemade* recipes here. You don't need a specific sauce to make a recipe, you do it from scratch quickly. Fresh food means no nasty chemicals or additives to your food which is SO much better for your family.

Lorraine's special touch with food presentation always amazes. As with her TV shows, they are beautiful, creative, and delicious. My book was written in metric measurements, but that is fine. Time for me to learn how to read a conversion chart. There is another printing of this book, Everyday Easy, which I also ordered!! I have enjoyed the slight difference in expressions from British to American.

I purchased this cookbook expecting to get some new easy recipes and was not disappointed.I am not great at grams in place of ounces that was my only issue.I served the Dulce & banana cake, everyone loved it.

I love Lorraine and was happy to find the book. The recipes are not for beginners which is exactly what I was looking for. Will enjoy this book.

Great book. Lorraine makes great, quick and simple to make food.

Terrific recipes. All we tried were delicious.

Great book full of easy to make recipes.

I love to cook; Lorraine has introduced me to new and creative uses of healthy ingredients.

This is such a good book. So easy to follow, such tasty meals, simple ingredients, but also bold flavours. I totally recommend it. The instructions are really easy to follow, which means you don't need to be a chef to get great results. We have had the book for a couple of weeks now, and have tried around 10 of the recipes. Honestly, great buy. And the price was very good too (which always helps).

Great selection of recipes to choose from and some unique ideas and most inexpensive. Lots of easy to prepare meals which is what you want from a book with a title such as this one. I have a few of her books now and it's almost time to get her Christmas one off the shelf again!

This is an excellent book! The recipes are tasty, diverse and easy to follow. I have already tried 4 of them and the timings are spot on. Many of the dishes would impress friends at a dinner party - salmon saltimbocca for example. I particularly like the way it tells you at the start of each recipe what equipment you need for each recipe. I would thoroughly recommend this book for someone who wants to expand their repertoire but without taking on anything too fussy or time-consuming.

This book contains some delicious recipes. I bought the book having watched Lorrain's TV program.The descriptions are clear and simple to follow,and the book is divided up,so that planning a meal or a feast is straight forward.I particularly like the veggie recipes as we eat very little meat.The puds and cakes are heavenly.Here in Portugal some ingredients are hard to get or are very expensive when following British recipes,but this book has few difficult to find ingredients,another plus.Go on Spoil yourself,buy a copy !! It will be even better if it comes out in paperback and is therefore cheaper.

I liked this cookbook but its not a favourite. Some of the recipes dont appeal but the book may be loved by others. On a positive recipes are easy to follow and nice photography.
